Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School (from 1950-1993, Norfolk Catholic High School; from 1993-2004, Catholic High School; commonly referred to as "Catholic" or "CHS") is a Roman Catholic secondary school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, founded as Norfolk Catholic High School in 1950 and moved to Virginia Beach in 1993. In 2003, the school was renamed in honor of Walter Francis Sullivan, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Richmond and a significant benefactor during the school's foundation. The Barry Robinson Theater and Fine Arts Center opened that same year. The current principal is Mr. Dennis W. Price, who replaced Monsignor William Pitt following his retirement in 2005. Their athletic teams compete in the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools (TCIS), and are known as the Crusaders.[2]
